Fusion Middleware 11g – How to register Oracle Instance with Webogic Server (opmnctl) ?

I am new to Oracle database admin and OEM area. I was able to use opmnctl start/stop from oms home/bin in my OEM 10.2.x.x versions. I upgraded to OEM11g and now I do not see opmnctl in oms/bin. It is in oraclehome/opmn/bin for both oms and agent. Do I need to register Oracle Instance with WebLogic Server and what port do I use?

Hi, we’ve installed wls 10.3.5 and soa 11.1.1.5. Configured domain and started admin server, nodemanager, managed server through all supplied scripts but cannot start managed server throught the admin console (actually it does start after about 45 mins according to putty session but admin console is never updated. if we log out and log back in we can see both servers are running. Question is this: I’m worried the installs are corrupted even though Oracle support claims they are correct. We cannot log into EM and we cannot even bring up the B2B home page and support cannot figure out why. We also have no opmn and support says that is ok but everywhere I read, it states opmn should have been installed. Any ideas?

Sorry, forgot to mention that we are using the Solaris versions combined with jrockit version 28 or 24 (can’t remember). Oracle has already confirmed that the export of the B2B partner/agreements data from Integration 10g to 11g does not work when you have custom documents for the solaris version and wondering if others have had half the issues we’ve had with these installs on solaris?

@ Warren,
I can confirm that SOA 11g is Java component and only requires WebLogic. OPMN is required only for system components like OHS, WebCache, OID, OBIEE System component.

OPMN is not used for just SOA type.

For issues in /em and /b2b few things to check

1. Ensure that Admin Server and SOA managed servers are up and running

2. Ensure that there are no logs in admin & managed server log files (one with diagnostics)

Logs are under $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/[serverName]/logs

There could be chances that managed or admin is up but application (em or b2b) failed to start which could be for number of reasons.

If you are starting services via console then ensure that in Node Manager properties file, startScriptEnabled is set to true (default iis false)

or start managed server using command line script startManagedServer.sh as shown in http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2008/08/03/oracle-weblogic-server-startupshutdown/

Thanks for info on OPMN. EM and B2B are up and running as shown in the deployments in the admin console when both servers are running. There are no immediate errors related to em that I can see in the logs and support has gone over them also and found nothing. The only thing I see is a bunch of classNotFound exceptions and a warning that em is not versioned. Both I have pointed out to support and they don’t think those have anything to do with it. startScriptEnabled=true property is set and ran setDomainEnv before starting servers. Since we cannot start managed server through admin console, I tried using wlst connecting to nodemanager and managed server started after about 4-5 mins fine. Log into console and see both servers are running, em/b2b are running in deployments but still em will not login (just sits there spinning the clock on the page even after 30-45 mins). go look at targets.xml at /appl/oracle/mw/11g_5_home/user_projects/domains/base_domain/sysman/state and it never gets updated with the DomainHome and WebLogicHome as does the support persons file and b2b homepage will not load. Tried editing the targets file and restarting the admin/managed server and still cannot login to em. Thanks for help.

@ warren,

It is safe to ignore warning that “em is not versioned” however in my view issue is with “classNotFound exceptions”

where are you getting this (paste error message here) ?

Are you sure that your weblogic is 10.3.5 and SOA is 11.1.1.5 ?

Hi, turns out it is a browser issue with IE. Support is still looking up the reason but I was able to get into EM and B2B through Firefox. Thanks for your help.

@ warren,
Thanks for sharing this information with us.

Atul,
There is a mistype on your article’s title: Webogic instead of WebLogic.

Cheers
